              ------------- ACTIVITY LOG --------------
Observing Specialist: J.Dembicky
Chcked ecamera for condensation.  Looked fine.
I had trouble moving the telescope (or rotator) tonight using the tcc.  I logged in via talk2boxes and was able to move all axis from there (while in the dome).  Upon exiting the telescope was once again responsive via tcc commands.
Agile rotator was about 30 deg off.  I re-zeroed it.  It may have went off when I took the filter wheel out and it free-wheeled pretty fast.
High humidity all night, Observers gave up at 04:00.
